Official rules for the Heather Bellini Photography Wedding Photography Giveaway:

You must be 18 years or older to enter.

Your wedding date must be between December 1, 2018 and December 31st, 2019.

Your wedding can take place in the United States or internationally.

A contract must then be signed with Heather Bellini Photography, LLC within 1 week of winning.

If you win, and your wedding is taking place more than 60 miles outside of Buffalo, NY, you agree to pay for all travel expenses for myself and my second shooter. I will make all travel arrangements (from Buffalo, NY to your location) and give you a quote before we sign the contract….I will do my best to keep the cost reasonable and fair. If travel costs need to be added, a 50% non-refundable payment towards the travel fees will be required at the time of signing the contract, and the final travel fee amount will be due 60 days before the wedding date.

Travel fees include:

Mileage at the current NY State Mileage Rate if we choose to drive to your location OR cost of airfare plus rental car. First 60 miles are free.

Hotel cost for 2 nights in your city within 20 miles of the wedding venue

This wedding photography giveaway includes a complimentary engagement session for couples within the Buffalo, NY (Western New York) area. If you’re outside of this area, you’ll receive an extra hour of coverage on your wedding day instead.

You must have a date set & venue booked when entering this contest. If you don’t have a set date just yet but are close to having one, please feel free to enter, and we’ll discuss further. Your wedding must be on a day that isn’t already booked by Heather Bellini Photography. If I am already booked on your date, I will let you know right away because you will then be disqualified.

Couples who have already booked Heather Bellini Photography are not eligible to enter this contest.

You cannot already be under contract with a different photographer.

All couples who enter this contest will receive a special discount off a regular priced wedding collection based on current 2019 rates.

The winning couple will be selected from 3 finalists. Each finalist must be available to chat with me in person, through a phone call, or via Skype / Google Hangouts. I will try to work with everyone’s schedules, but if the finalists cannot be available for the interview, they will be disqualified.

The winner will be chosen by Heather Bellini Photography, and all decisions are final. The winner will be announced on my FACEBOOK PAGE on February 14th, 2018

If for any reason the winning couple cannot claim their prize, they will be disqualified, and the runner-up will be awarded the prize at the discretion of Heather Bellini Photography.

Only one couple will be awarded the grand prize.
